Let’s Connect:
Spirit Panda Coaching helps conscientious young adults acquire a success mindset and the life skills necessary to thrive at work and in life.
Greetings! I’m Amber Ritner, a dedicated professional committed to guiding women toward enhanced independence, confidence, communication, self-acceptance, and improved executive functioning.
My journey into mental health and coaching began with my own struggles with self-esteem, confidence, and ADHD. Overcoming these challenges ignited a passion within me to help other women break free from similar constraints. With a Master’s in Psychology and extensive experience in mental health, I’ve empowered countless women to shatter self-limiting beliefs and develop the skills necessary for a fulfilling life. My personalized and empathetic approach fosters self-discovery, non-judgment, and profound personal growth.
As a full-time therapist and coach specializing in Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACC), I leverage its structured, evidence-based methods to ensure reliable progress and measurable outcomes.
I am dedicated to helping female clients unlock their full potential and dismantle barriers to their success. By blending science-based practices with spiritual and Eastern philosophies, I guide women to discover their inner strength, eliminate blockages, and enhance their executive functioning skills. My approach is unwaveringly person-centered, focusing on the unique journey of each woman.
“Amber is an exceptional coach—kind, insightful, and intelligent. She made me feel comfortable and heard, showing genuine care. She balanced accountability with the support of a friend, making her the perfect guide for me. I didn't expect such rapid improvement, but here we are. Instead of just learning strategies, I learned about myself and how to care for myself in a way that truly fits me. I now feel empowered to make my life my own, aiming to be the best version of myself, which makes me very happy.”
Life is challenging for everyone, but neurodivergent individuals face additional hurdles like sensory sensitivities, executive dysfunction, and communication difficulties. These, combined with adult pressures, can feel exhausting. However, overcoming them is possible with reliable support.
I’m Amanda Miller. As an autistic and ADHD individual, I’ve faced these challenges myself. My experiences have shaped a unique coaching approach where neurodiversity is embraced and celebrated.
Since high school, I’ve faced numerous challenges: changing colleges twice, earning a culinary degree, spending ten years as a chef, and returned to school to aid my career change. Working with a coach helped me organize my life and achieve my goals in alignment with my values, leading to a life of self-love, abundance, and sustainable strategies.
Through one-on-one coaching, I aim to inspire your mind to work creatively in ways that align with your neurodivergence. With commitment and creative collaboration, we can build a life strategy that is sustainable and enjoyable.
My clients experience transformative results, including increased productivity, innovative projects, and deeper self-expression. Let’s create a life strategy that works for you, turning challenges into growth opportunities.
“Amanda was great to work with during one of my big life transitions. She helped me understand myself more and think through my self growth objectives. I’ve come away with more self awareness, self compassion, and attainable near term goals to live a more peaceful and content life that I can be proud of. I am grateful for my time with her.”
Society often convinces us that we should reach certain milestones by specific ages—attend this school, pursue that career, get married, and own a home. The pressure to tick off these imaginary boxes is greater now than ever, making adulthood confusing, scary, and anxiety-inducing. It can feel like societal expectations steer you in directions beyond your control. But life can be an adventure, and I’m here to remind you that you can be the captain of your ship.
I am Michael (Mike) Garcia, and I’m here to help you take command of your life, navigate adulthood confidently, and define happiness on your terms. At 31, I am a PsyD clinical psychology student, so I understand the pressures of transitioning from one career to another. After serving over 10 years in the Coast Guard, I started fresh, relying on therapy and self-help books to guide my journey. Eventually, coaching provided the deeper understanding I needed to pursue my true passions.
Having faced significant life transitions myself, I understand the unique challenges of navigating loss and healing from trauma. My experience has equipped me to support men in overcoming societal pressures, embracing change, and finding their true selves. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I offer a safe and understanding space for all clients, ensuring that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
Through a client-coach relationship, we can effectively address the pressures of life after graduation, new career opportunities, and the transition into adulthood. Specializing in men’s coaching, I address the pressures and expectations uniquely experienced by men, helping them embrace change with strength, sensitivity, and sensibility. Together, we’ll cultivate self-reliance, determination, and a sense of purpose. Just like setting a course at sea, we’ll plan your direction while allowing for the flexibility of the set and drift that comes with life’s challenges. My goal is to help you sail through life with ease, leaving societal pressures behind, discovering freedom in your passions, and achieving clarity in your future goals and values.
"Before Michael started coaching me, I was too afraid to try to achieve my dreams because I was operating on the assumption that I would fail. But during our time together, I learned that it's better to try than to wonder and that my negative perspective was holding me back. I'm grateful that Michael helped me out of my malaise and taught me how to view my experiences through a positive lens.”
“Michael is the type of coach who will inspire, challenge, and hold a mirror up for you when it's needed. If you want to work for someone who has a passion for helping people and is here to bring you to the next level, he will do exactly that. The major highlights of growth for me have been gaining and maintaining a workout regimen, developing a healthy sleep routine, and as well as resolving and clearing up relationship pains with my family and friends.”
We live in a world with countless choices and no single conventional path. Too many options can lead to paralysis and keep us from making big leaps forward. This can create confusion, an unsatisfied "comparison mindset," and “imposter syndrome” that bogs us down. But life doesn’t have to be this way.
I’m Neftalí (Nef) Vélez, and I specialize in helping leaders navigate today's opportunities and challenges to define their own success—and enjoy achieving it. Having experienced "Millennial burnout," I understand how anxious thoughts and a lack of fulfillment can inhibit our greatest selves. I’ve done therapy, workshops, personal growth books, and spiritual exploration to create a life I love.
In my systematic coaching process, we will proactively elevate your leadership, ignite your performance, and transform your relationships for peak success in business and life. I aim to help each client feel stimulated and grow self-reliant for continued success.
My one-on-one coaching and tools have proven life-changing for those who invest time and energy in themselves. True transformation comes from within—nurturing your mind and spirit is just as important as caring for your physical body. Join me in a healing and helpful, collaborative coaching process. Access your own wisdom while learning proactive ways to attain your greatest goals.

"Working with Spirit Panda Coaching has been transformative. I now have a clearer understanding of how to manage my energy, communicate assertively, and prioritize my tasks effectively. The changes I've made have not only improved my performance at work but have also enriched my personal life. I feel more confident and connected, and I'm excited about the future."
"My coach has an incredible ability to connect with those around him. From day one, every session has been eye-opening, as if he intuitively knew what I needed. He started as a professional coach, quickly becoming a confidant and friend. His guidance helped me move from anxiety and fear to feeling confident and empowered to face the unknown. He taps into a person's potential, connecting on a deep level and bringing out the best in them. His insights and tools have grounded me, helping me stay focused and aligned with my purpose. I'm truly grateful for his support and inspiration."
"When I felt that the world was starting to feel overwhelming, Neftalí had a way of getting me to stop my self-doubt and refocus myself through coaching techniques. He has always assertive, in a way that showed he was on my side. With Neftalí's help, I have become a better communicator and excel at work relationships, and I am eternally grateful for that!"
"As a new sales rep, I struggled with a few areas in my daily tasks. When meeting Neftalí for the first time, I saw the leadership in his personality, the passion for what he teaches, and his powerful motivational skills! He is extremely organized and finds the most efficient way to gather information as quickly as possible. Today, I'm effective in my schedule, sales skills, and incorporated new tracking technology for account management. This has gotten me to the next level in my career! I would highly recommend Neftalí to anyone who's lacking encouragement and in need of a leadership/success coach to help them thrive in their career and life."
“Before working with Neftalí, I found myself struggling with difficult and challenging conversations with customers. I felt that I was either never getting my point clearly across, or I was over-explaining myself. I didn’t know how hard I was being on myself and overthinking every situation until Neftalí helped me gain effective conversation skills and be more open to understanding customer perspectives. Dissecting the importance, delivery, and strategy of getting my point across was key! I am happier now that I have elevated my communications skills and have better relationships with my customers."
“I wasn't too sure if life coaching was right for me. For the most part, I was pretty happy with where I was. However, in working with Neftalí, I discovered new ways to become a better version of myself. Neftalí coached me through difficult work and life situations and provided me with the mental tools I needed as I came across more. Through his coaching, I'm able to approach life situations more carefully and calmly. I recommend life coaching to anyone who's looking to improve not only their life habits but their mindset!”
“As a non-native English speaker, at times communicating to ask for help was been very difficult. Neftalí was very patient when helping me strategize, and acquire sales skills to define my goals while learning how to see them through. At first, these goals seemed impossible but with Neftalí's encouragement and accountability, I began to achieve my goals while gaining more adaptivity in correcting my behavioral habits that weren't helping my bottom line at work and in life! After working with Neftalí for some time I began to realize and believe in myself that I was a solid strategic planner and that I had the skills and mindset to follow through every step of the way!”
“As a therapist, I am constantly looking for both resources to share with clients and experiences that I can also have to deepen my relationship with myself. Working with Nef gave me so many tools and techniques to share with others, as well as I, continue to use to connect with parts of myself that I had not been able to access or name before long after our coaching has ended. Breaking through my own money mindset was also a huge eye-opener for me, and I feel released from the burden of needing to suffer to make good money and help others at the same time.”
“Neftalí’s coaching approach was exactly what I needed to get myself out of multiple ruts in life. We had mapped out plans that would help me accomplish health and financial goals, and with clear metrics, I was held accountable at every session for progress toward these goals.”
“Coaching with Neftalí has been drastically life changing. He reaches into my head and conspires with my rational self to undermine my inner critic and develop an inner mother. I sleep better, communicate better, and am better equipped to handle the challenges that come with being human in an inhuman environment.”
“When I first met with Neftalí, I was very skeptical of life coaching. It was within his unique style of holding me accountable that I truly found the magic of his coaching program... I began looking at life moments with a self-confidence I knew I possessed but had forgotten how to channel.”
